Cubic foot (ft³) — an imperial and US customary unit of volume
It is defined as the volume of a cube with edges exactly 1 foot long; since 1 foot = 0.3048 meters exactly, 1 cubic foot = 0.028316846592 cubic meters exactly. Used mainly in the United States and some engineering contexts for measuring room volume, airflow, shipping, construction materials, natural gas, storage, and appliances.
- Symbol: ft³, cu ft
- System: Imperial and US customary unit for volume
- Exact relations: 1 ft³ = 1728 in³ = 1/27 yd³ = 0.028316846592 m³
- Metric equivalents: 1 ft³ = 28.316846592 L ≈ 28,316.8 cm³ ≈ 0.0283168 m³
- Typical examples: a cube 1 foot on each side has a volume of 1 ft³; refrigerator capacity is often listed in ft³; airflow may be measured in cubic feet per minute.
Cubic meter (m³) — the SI derived unit of volume
It is defined as the volume of a cube with edges exactly 1 meter long. Used worldwide for measuring volume and capacity in science, engineering, construction, shipping, water use, storage, ventilation, and everyday large-volume measurements.
- Symbol: m³
- System: SI derived unit for volume
- Exact relations: 1 m³ = 1000 L = 1,000,000 cm³ = 1,000,000 mL
- Imperial and US equivalents: 1 m³ ≈ 35.3147 ft³ ≈ 1.30795 yd³ ≈ 264.172 US gal ≈ 219.969 imperial gal
- Typical examples: a cube 1 m on each side has a volume of 1 m³; a 1000 L water tank holds 1 m³; a small room may have a volume of tens of m³.
